W's 4" Trail Short

Great utilitarian summer running shorts!

I've worn these now for short (3-5 mile) and longer (9-10 mile) runs and can say that they're really solid! They're a lighter material than other similar shorts that I own - they dry fast, and the pockets are outstanding. Plenty of room for everything that I need. My minor complaint is that the shorts roll/slide up on me for the first mile or two. Once I'm sweaty enough they stay put, but until the rubber grips don't tend to want to grip. Considering that the miles after the first two are the ones where I need comfort the most, I'm fine with this! I'm 135 lbs, 5'4" and bought Mediums. They don't squeeze, and are very comfortable. I do find I needed to tighten the tie a bit, but the tie is comfortable and holds well once tied.

Lightweight, Functional, and Built to Run

These 4" trail shorts have quickly become one of my favorites. The fit is spot-on and they pretty much stay put for the entire run without riding up, even on longer miles. The lightweight fabric is comfortable and breathable, and the deep pockets easily hold my essentials without bouncing around. I also love the pop of color! It adds a fun touch without sacrificing performance. I'd definitely recommend these shorts to any runner looking for comfort, function, and a great fit on the trails or the road.

Really wanted to love!

I was really hoping to love these shorts! They have great pockets and capacity but i still have issues with them riding up and getting some serious inner thigh chafing in a variety of weather types. But going up a size would end up likely being too big in the waist and too much bounce to hold everything. If there is a way to provide better measurements or better grip on the legs.
